This is your experienced attorney’s responsibility. Our top-rated slip-and-fall accident attorneys will help narrow down the responsible parties and hold them liable for any damages that they have caused.
What are Slip and Fall Accident Injuries
Slip and fall accidents are one of the most common accidents that cause devastating injuries. According to the National Safety Council, the most common reason for emergency room visits is because of slip and falls. Slip and falls could occur virtually anywhere, and on any type of property.
- Head Injuries (Brain injury) – This is the most common type of injury from a slip and fall, causing Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI). A TBI may range from a small concussion to complement mental impairment.
- Broken Arm, Leg, Ankle – Slipping or tripping can cause a really bad fall ending with a broken ankle, leg, or arm. Older people are more likely to break their leg or arm in a slip and fall.
- Fractured Bones (Fractured Ankle) – Fractured ankles are common with slip and fall accidents. This is also common with older people when they have a slip and fall injury.
- Soft Tissue Injury (Torn ligament or sprained ankle/wrist) – If you don’t break a bone from a slip and fall, you might have a sprained ankle or torn ligament.
- Lacerations – Breaking the skin due to a slip and fall can happen if a sharp object cuts you or the pavement causes a tear.
- Back Injury and Spinal Cord Injury – Permanent back injuries can happen with a herniated disk injury, fractured vertebrae, or nerve damage. At least 25% of spinal cord injuries are caused by a slip and fall accident.
- Shoulder Injury – A dislocated shoulder or broken shoulder may have resulted from a slip and fall causing permanent damage. This may require surgery in order to recover.
- Internal Bleeding – When the body hits the floor with such an abrupt force, internal bleeding may result. Many may not even know that they are experiencing internal bleeding until they visit a medical provider for examination after the slip and fall accident.
WHAT DO I HAVE TO PROVE FOR MY SLIP AND FALL LAWSUIT?
In order to prove a slip-and-fall injury in California or Nevada, there are several different elements that the slip and fall attorneys must show are met. These elements are:
- That there was a condition on the property that was dangerous
- Duty: The owner or possessor of the property knew about that condition or had a duty to keep the property safe for visitors
- Breach: The owner failed to take reasonable steps to keep the property safe.
- Causation: Because they failed to fix the condition and keep the property safe, this caused the victim to incur very serious injuries.
- Damages: The victim has now suffered injuries.
There is extensive investigation done to each single element. It takes a highly qualified slip and fall attorney to investigate the circumstances of your accident and build your lawsuit up. It is very important to hire a skilled slip and fall attorney that is well-versed in slip-and-fall laws of your state. Each state may have different elements that the attorney will have to prove.
(Fictional) Example of a California Slip and Fall Injury Case:
At a crowded airport on a busy Friday afternoon, Thomas slips on water left on the floor in front of the airport coffee shop. The area was extremely wet, though not visible. There were many employees in the area, but nobody took the time to put a caution sign on the ground, or clean up the spill. After looking and investigating the video footage, the spill had been there for a very long time, and none of the employees had done anything to correct it.
Who is responsible?
The airport management/owners are most likely to be held liable for Thomas’ fall. The reason is that the spill had been on the ground for a long time and none of the employees had done anything to correct it. What should have been done is that their cleaning crew or an assigned “safety employee” should have done their respective rounds and looked for spills, helping prevent this type of accident. Since nobody did this, Thomas is now severely injured and will be out of work for the next 5 months due to a torn ACL and medial meniscus. This will also cost Thomas financial hardship due to not being able to work and will have medical bills that will need to be paid.
When Can I Sue After a Slip and Fall Accident?
Each state has a different time requirement as to when a plaintiff can sue for a slip and fall accident. In California, you have two years from the date of the accident and injuries to file a slip and fall accident lawsuit. You should act quickly, because this time may slip by.
What is the Average Compensation in a Slip and Fall Case?
Each slip and fall accident varies from person to person. There is no overall dollar amount we could give for all slip-and-fall lawsuits. Our experienced slip-and-fall attorneys at Heidari Law will be able to determine the merits of your claim and how much you could potentially recover in damages when you come in for a one-on-one and discuss your specific case.
